Apples and Oranges, Part II: A Linux DBMS Comparison - page 9

The Database Design

All of the three discussed DBMSes are pretty easy to install, set up and
program. The client libraries implementing the C API are tiny; compared to,
say, state-of-the-art GUI toolkits, their size is negligible, and there are no
big differences in binary size or the memory footprints of the clients.

The increased verbosity and longer turn-around times of PostgreSQL's ESQL
API are compensated for by less effort spent converting strings to non-string data
types and vice versa.
